PAL20R8-5PC

Programmable Logic Device Pld Overview

The PAL20R8-5PC is a Complex Programmable Logic Device (CPLD) manufactured by Vantis Corporation. It features an EEPROM-based non-volatile architecture with CMOS technology, ensuring data retention without power. The device operates at a maximum clock frequency of 100 MHz and exhibits a propagation delay of 5 ns. It is housed in a 20-pin Plastic Dual In-line Package (PDIP). The component supports a nominal supply voltage of 5 V and functions within a standard commercial temperature range up to 70 °C.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Feature Summary

• EEPROM-based non-volatile programmable logic architecture
• High-speed performance with 5 ns propagation delay and 100 MHz max clock frequency
• CMOS technology for low power consumption
• 20-pin PDIP package suitable for through-hole mounting

Programmable Logic Device Pld Applications

• Digital logic replacement in legacy systems
• State machine implementation
• Address decoding circuits

Programmable Logic Device Pld Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer origin carefully, as Vantis assets were acquired by Lattice Semiconductor. Confirm the specific suffix '5PC' corresponds to the 5 ns speed grade and PDIP package. Check RoHS compliance status, as older EEPROM PLDs may not meet current environmental standards. Ensure the source provides valid datasheets confirming the electrical characteristics.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Selection Notes

Select this component when non-volatile configuration is required to retain logic definitions after power cycles. The 5 ns delay suits applications needing moderate switching speeds. Compare against GAL alternatives if volatile storage is acceptable for lower cost. Verify pin compatibility with existing PCB footprints designed for standard 20-pin DIP packages.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Part Context

This part belongs to the PAL20R8 family of simple programmable logic devices. These components are widely used for replacing discrete logic gates in industrial and consumer electronics. The EEPROM variant allows for reprogramming multiple times, offering flexibility during design iterations compared to one-time programmable counterparts.

Programmable Logic Device Pld Replacement Considerations

Lattice Semiconductor LatticePAL20R8-5PC is the direct successor due to the acquisition of Vantis assets. Generic PAL20R8 equivalents from other manufacturers may require voltage level translation or timing adjustments.
